SUMMARY
***
After the recent update to KDE Gear in KDE neon, Neochat  no longer starts. 
Two dependencies are missing: qml-module-qtlocation and qml-module-qtpositioning.

***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Update neon to KDE gear 23.08
2. Try an open Neochat

In the terminal:

$ neochat
QQmlApplicationEngine failed to load component
qrc:/main.qml:20:5: Type RoomList.Page unavailable
qrc:/RoomList/Page.qml:87:20: Type ExploreComponent unavailable
qrc:/RoomList/ExploreComponent.qml: Type org.kde.neochat/OsmLocationPlugin unavailable
qrc:/OsmLocationPlugin.qml:7:1: module "QtLocation" is not installed

After installing qml-module-qtlocation, I get a similar message:

$ neochat
QQmlApplicationEngine failed to load component
qrc:/main.qml:23:5: Type RoomPage unavailable
qrc:/RoomPage.qml:70:26: Type TimelineView unavailable
qrc:/TimelineView.qml:177:19: Type EventDelegate unavailable
qrc:/EventDelegate.qml:80:19: Type LocationDelegate unavailable
qrc:/LocationDelegate.qml:8:1: module "QtPositioning" is not installed

Installing qml-module-qtpositioning allows Neochat to run.


OBSERVED RESULT
It fails to open


EXPECTED RESULT
neochat opens

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

Linux/KDE Plasma: 
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.7
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.109.0
Qt Version: 5.15.10

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Installing both qml-module-qtlocation and qml-module-qtpositioning fixes this. Seems that they need to be added to the dependency list for neon's package.

Thank you for your bug report! 
However this bug report was created/provided previous to 01/01/2023 and also has not received any updates since  before 01/01/2025. 
Unfortunately KDE neon no longer provides updates for anything older than noble 24.04 based edition's.
Please upgrade to KDE neon noble and if you can reproduce the issue after upgrading to an active version, feel free to re-open this bug report.
Thanks for understanding!
